D.C.
Techniques I Use: Diversified adjusting to the spine and extremities, drop table, flexion-distraction table, myofascial release, corrective exercise, IASTM, breathwork correction.
About My Practice: My practice is anchored in finding out your “why.” I help you get out of pain, optimize your movement and stability so that you can do the things you love and that give you purpose. I look at you as more than the body part that is hurting. I treat through a holistic lens and work with you to address all contributing factors. I’ve worked with kids, the elderly, athletes, weekend warriors, gym rats, the work-from-home population and everything in between.
About Me: I was raised in San Diego, became a doctor of chiropractic in the Pacific Northwest, then lived in NYC for a few years before resettling back home. I played basketball internationally for a number of years and I still enjoy the game now. I love traveling the world and sipping on an espresso based beverage at a cafe.
Additional Languages: Dari/Farsi, Some Spanish

Techniques I Use: Diversified adjusting, drop table adjusting, extremity adjusting, myofascial release, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching, instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation, therapeutic exercises.
About My Practice: I like to see each patient as a puzzle, because I enjoy working with them to piece together their cause(s) of discomfort and then being able to look at the whole picture to create a tailored treatment plan for them both inside and outside of the office. My goal is to provide the best possible care to my patients by using a holistic approach to get to the root of the issue(s) for them. While each patient will have a different reason for coming in, I truly believe that everyone can benefit from chiropractic work and look forward to providing that to the San Diego community.
About Me: A born and bred Southern Californian, I graduated from CSU Long Beach with a degree in Kinesiology. After four hectic years of being a student athlete there (pole vaulting) and just under four years of graduate school, I am enjoying more of the slow life now. I love growing food (gardener), fishkeeping (aquarist), and playing fetch with our enthusiastic pooch (half German Shepherd, half Labrador Retriever), LunaBear, at the dog park.

Techniques I Use:Diversified adjusting, extremity adjusting, myofascial release, instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation, activator adjusting, therapeutic exercises, soft tissue therapy
About My Practice:I strive to provide holistic care and go after the root of the problem rather than simply treating the symptoms. I fell in love with chiropractic after numerous personal trips growing up from a variety of different sports injuries. I specialize in treating injuries ranging from sport-specific to everyday problems.
About Me: I live and breathe all things sports from watching to playing, and in my free time I enjoy escaping up to the mountains to snowboard on my day off or checking out the new local brewery.

About My Practice: In my experience, the most interesting thing that occurs is the life of my patients! You and I will start by addressing what’s changed. You may sleep differently, your eating habits may change, you’ll take on new activities – and I get to meet with you to discuss how we can improve your overall quality of life through better motion and decreased pain. I’ll take care of your spine, but I’ll also look at your upper and lower extremities too – because this is our interface with our world. I’m one of a select few Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioners in San Diego. I blend the art of chiropractic care, with attentiveness to the extremities, and a focus on physical medicine that I use to help patients be at their best.
About Me: I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I was an active, three sport kid and artist, and the oldest from a family of four kids. A football tackling drill sent me to ER and with caution to my first chiropractor when I was 14. Visit after visit, I noticed my body unlocking seemingly for the first time. With my newfound freedom of motion, I became interested in becoming a chiropractor, so I set forth to the University of Pittsburgh studying pre-med as my path to chiropractic school. I graduated from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida in 2008. I ran a successful practice up until 2017, and have since been working and living in Sacramento, CA, and Pittsburgh, PA. I come from the east coast, but knew from a very young age that I was destined to be out west! I love the beach, playing and watching all types of sports, getting into my projects of art and design, and music of all kinds!
